House Hacking - Multi Unit Purchase Structure

[Josh Schaap]

Hello All,

I'm relatively new to the community and real estate investing. Hoping to learn a lot here and I appreciate all of the comments I've been reading through on other's posts.

Quick question: I'm looking to buy anything from a duplex to a quad in my local area (Twin Cities, MN). Whenever I'm looking for these properties on the MLS they seem to only have 1 of the units for sale as opposed to the entire building. I'm curious if this is the trend everywhere or if this is a localized thing.

It seems like I've read about many people around the country having no problem buying the whole property, but doesn't seem to be the same here.

@Ryan Thomson thank you for your feedback. The other side is I'm finding that true duplexes are beyond my budget around here. So I've shifted to looking for an off-market single family with the possibility of adding an ADU in some form.
